Expeditions in Borneo by Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson show the terrain, flora, fauna and lifestyle of Borneo as the Johnsons search for a huge orangutan.
Martin Johnson’s last film completed after his fatal plane crash, this 1937 documentary captures the raw beauty and danger of Borneo’s jungles. A time capsule of 1930s adventure filmmaking that represents both the climax of the Johnsons’ career and the end of an era in exploitation/exploration cinema.
